I’m only two weeks into lifting and I am entirely guilty of this. Thank you for explaining this. I actually noticed last night during my workout that I thought I had hit failure on some sets, but then I was still able to squeeze out almost 2 full reps and some partials.
Hell yeah! Remember no rush to your goals. Fitness is a journey, have fun and prioritize sleeping and eating properly and you’ll get where you wanna be.
I am now 7 months in 7 best months in my life just don't stop going keep going and you will learn i had more injury's in the first 5 months than a pro footballer in 1 match😂
Good practice, but remember - even if you don't go to failure at this stage in your lifting journey, you'll still pack on strength and size. Beginners can train to as much as 5 RIR (five reps in the tank) and still make visible progress. Forcing yourself to fail on every workout is more of an intermediate-level nuance.
Nice to see others giving words of encouragement! Also remember form is absolutely key! Don't sacrifice form ever in attempts to get one more or squeeze extra. Understand the movement and the muscle you're working and ensure you're failing the right thing or you'll be working up to an injury eventually!
Imagine training to failure on a vertical leg press.... You kinda deserve that one Even if they are way more expensive and only go up to like 400-450 kg, your gym should have at least one horizontal leg press, just to enable this kind of training
Does anyone know how to train lateral raises till failure? I always feels like i trained till failure but i can still do partial reps even tho not the full one
I've spent the last year teaching myself to stop at failure to prevent injury. Stop listening to the voice in my head that's calling me a failure and weak. And then this guy comes in and tells me to keep going.
Depends on the exercise and the weight you're using, for example if you have a bench you don't want to reach true failure because you may not to safely be able to drop the weight if you're lifting very heavy.
I did train to failure... Really over failure cause of my bad wrists and my daily physical job i got multiple injury. Listen to your body and if your weakness is your grip like me dont push too many groups to failure the same day your hands are gonna give up take time to recover . Btw now I'm fine and I'm getting back with more knowledge:)
I like to count my reps until I slow down, and my body wants to stop. That’s when I stop counting and keep saying one more to myself until I literally can’t get even a 1/4 of the rep.
I prefer train to failue in machine or with spotter in "manual" things Safety is number one. Several monts ago a fitness influencer from Bali, Indonesia had passed away after failed attempt in 200 kg (450 lbs) squat. The bar felt in his back, he passed away in the journey to the hospital
Pushing to failure could mean most muscle growth if it doesn’t compromise recovery. However, pushing to failure accumulates a lot fatigue. The most sustainable way of doing this is RIR, (Reps in Reserve, meaning the amount of reps you could’ve done to reach failure, but stopped until that point.) Fatigue generated by this is substantially less than pushing to failure.
Failure is one of two things in the space of lifting: 1) Training until you cannot perform a set any longer, or 2) training until you cannot perform a perfect rep any longer. But the advice he provides is variable, and the advice I provide is variable, right? Because you want to perform the exercise for readiness of the next time you workout. Being sore is not necessarily the goal. Being sore is an indicator of how much you worked/overworked.
Usually, what I'll do it I can't get another one up, I'll slow down the eccentric part of the last rep as much as possible for the last bit of muscle tears
On plate loaded lifts I do rest-pause sets and when I fail I don’t just drop it I lower it as slow as I can !! Been working wonders for me but it’s early gates for me not even been training a month yet
But also learn to tell when to let a failed rep go. Some people go for that last rep and let their form completely break down in order to get it. At that point youre not training the muscle you wanted to failure and youre dramatically increasing risk of injury. So go for the rep but if you hit a sticking point and cant get past it, just abandon the rep. Dont try to push past it with terrible form
Honestly it depends on your training split and making sure your muscles recover in time for the next time u train them, but generally 1-4 reps short of failure are already very muscle growth inducing according to actual studies so don’t push to failure unless you’re sure u can recover in time for the next time u train them
Yes. You should not be stopping a rep at the top or bottom of the movement. True failure is failing a rep halfway when you really couldn't push to the endow the movement. (Ovs ask for a spot if needed saved tho 😅)
I’m not into weights too much, but I have an 8 pound weight that I like to curl for super high volume whether that’s beneficial or not. At like 50 reps my arm is super tired and by like 80 it feels impossible to do another rep but I can pretty much go forever. Obviously this experience of failing at over like 100 is different from failure at 10 reps but I just thought it’s at least interestingly similar
Get a spotter have then help you till you can and drop set . Once you can’t do any weight your good only takes one like that and it’s better then doing 15 sets
I would've dropped the weights on myself, I've been lifting with no spotter since I started mainly because I go to gym when there is no one there 😂 got to be careful haha
Perhaps one of the reasons why gym goers (including me) are afraid to reach "failure" is because they have watched a lot of videos where lifters tore their muscles while working out.
How do I train to failure on bench especially when I have no spotter. I always end up in this position where if I go for another one I'm gonna be stuck under the bar
With free weights compound movement, should i still go to failure even if i dont have a spotter? Like incline dumbell coz I'm afraid i would get hurt or injured or something when i go for true failure
I never workout till failure. I only use 10 reps 4 sets. So i did it wrong. If i want bigger muscle should i train until failure every sets or only at the last set?
I go until i cant move the weight. Sometimes i take a 2 second break holding the weight and keep going. I start doing half reps till im swinging the weight too much lol
When i find myself close to failure, i try to go for 1 more rep but then i can’t do it. Instead of trying to do 1 more rep of the same weight, can I just lower the weight and push until i can’t again? Please explain I’m an beginner, thank you!
You actually don't need to go until failure. You're risking injury for nothing here. Leaving 1-2 reps in the tank produces the same amount of muscle hypertrophy as going to failure. I generally like your videos but please look into the studies done on this specific concept.
I literally CANNOT sometimes and thats probably exactly what till failure is but If i start feeling like I’m going to have a brain aneurysm at the gym then I am done-zies 😂 Edit: Its also so hard training your mind to realize its okay to push the limits, at least I think thats why I struggle to hit real failure

Dude, you're getting a solid start by paying attention to this. Heck yeah, GL
Fair point if you train on a machine in which you can safely fail.
Exactly what i though!!

@vxlkrye2015benchpress
You can safely fail on a deadlift or a squat too. With a spotter you can even safely fail on a barbell bench press.

The advice he is giving is gold. I hope people are taking notes here.
I've spent the last year teaching myself to stop at failure to prevent injury. Stop listening to the voice in my head that's calling me a failure and weak. And then this guy comes in and tells me to keep going.
Go to failure on machines but not on free weights - at least not without a spotter. I reckon that’d minimize chance of injury
@@nameesht5162 dumbbells are pretty safe to go to absolute failure and beyond
@@nameesht5162why not? I train at home so i just drop the weights
Depends on the exercise and the weight you're using, for example if you have a bench you don't want to reach true failure because you may not to safely be able to drop the weight if you're lifting very heavy.
There is a fine line between failure n injury 🤕😂
First time I've heard this guy speak instead of ending the short on a cliffhanger without an explanation.

Bro spoke for the first time 🔥
Actually there’s not that much benefit training to failure in muscle growth compared to RIR 1-2 but there’s a huge difference in fatigue.
"when you think youre done, totally done... 5 more" -tom platz
Just make sure you're keeping good form I ended up with arthritis in my wrist going overboard to failure think for the long-term too.
I like to count my reps until I slow down, and my body wants to stop. That’s when I stop counting and keep saying one more to myself until I literally can’t get even a 1/4 of the rep.

Bro thinks he's Tom Platz
The way I train, failure is once you fail a half rep. Great video on how to train hard, love it!
I prefer train to failue in machine or with spotter in "manual" things
Safety is number one. Several monts ago a fitness influencer from Bali, Indonesia had passed away after failed attempt in 200 kg (450 lbs) squat. The bar felt in his back, he passed away in the journey to the hospital
thank you ❤
Brodie needs to retire those AF1's. Let em have their rest eternally 😭😭
*Tyler Path: New Expression Unlocked✅*
I needed to hear that!
That's easy for exercises that don't have consequences for a failed rep.
But on something like a bench press or overhead press, probably not too wise!
Pushing to failure could mean most muscle growth if it doesn’t compromise recovery. However, pushing to failure accumulates a lot fatigue.

I like to hold isometrically on the eccentric of my last rep
Genuine question: Why do everytime I go to gym I just noticed that some were not trying the failure they prefer to push the dumbbells so fast.
On plate loaded lifts I do rest-pause sets and when I fail I don’t just drop it I lower it as slow as I can !! Been working wonders for me but it’s early gates for me not even been training a month yet
Am I the only who noticed “last rap” ?
But also learn to tell when to let a failed rep go. Some people go for that last rep and let their form completely break down in order to get it. At that point youre not training the muscle you wanted to failure and youre dramatically increasing risk of injury. So go for the rep but if you hit a sticking point and cant get past it, just abandon the rep. Dont try to push past it with terrible form
I prefer your shorts where you spend the last 25 seconds explaining nuance
bro has the best sleeper build
I also learned dropsetting is good if you want another set. It keeps hitting the muscles and you get to keep the form.
Honestly it depends on your training split and making sure your muscles recover in time for the next time u train them, but generally 1-4 reps short of failure are already very muscle growth inducing according to actual studies so don’t push to failure unless you’re sure u can recover in time for the next time u train them

That face I cannot 😂😂😂😂
That’s how I’ve always trained😂… I’ma keep it up bro
That’s an incline machine. Keep your back flat against the back of the seat and plum or else you’re just doing a flat press.
I avoid this to prevent injury...i am a beginner so i don't need this much failure
Bro took david goggins *Your mind quits way before you're body does*
How often should we train to failure though?
I’m not into weights too much, but I have an 8 pound weight that I like to curl for super high volume whether that’s beneficial or not. At like 50 reps my arm is super tired and by like 80 it feels impossible to do another rep but I can pretty much go forever. Obviously this experience of failing at over like 100 is different from failure at 10 reps but I just thought it’s at least interestingly similar
try to push one more rep in bench press to get the max growth with injury
I love lifting to failure on machines because of the risk free pain
Tyler, are we supposed to go to failure on every set of every exercise we do or just go to failure on the last set of each exercise?
Get a spotter have then help you till you can and drop set . Once you can’t do any weight your good only takes one like that and it’s better then doing 15 sets
only do wthis on machines or safety racks
If frequency is high is not good to go beyond failure maybe 1-0 rir . But if you hit muscle group once every 4-5 days well yeah go beyond failure. .
bro is so small and cute 😅
I usually get to failure for the final set.
Training past failure>
I would've dropped the weights on myself, I've been lifting with no spotter since I started mainly because I go to gym when there is no one there 😂 got to be careful haha
Perhaps one of the reasons why gym goers (including me) are afraid to reach "failure" is because they have watched a lot of videos where lifters tore their muscles while working out.
I’m convinced everyone does the same face near failure 😂
I always think about the pain tho I take a 5 sec rest and keep going
Disclaimer don't do this on bench without a spot
Damn it, i been saving too much energy for other rep after all😔
For barbell movements, please fail with safety bars on
I'm a rookie and find that if I hit failure, I'm usually losing form and risking and sometimes causing injury. Not sure how to get around that
This is a legit question though can't you seriously hurt yourself doing this? Blow a quad or bicep? I don't want to get injured and not train at all
not the flynn rider face☠️
you also take a deep breath again and hit till actual failure
I’m kind of liking the getting cut off at the end bit. Out of all gym influencer’s Tyler is …
Just dont do this when ure alone on bench press, squats or maybe deadlift
Should I train every single set to failure? As in if I do 3 sets of say shoulder press, 1 warm up set then 3 working sets?
Instruction unclear, now the barbell is on my neck after going for more with no spotter on bench press
How did you hurt your elbow ?
How do I train to failure on bench especially when I have no spotter. I always end up in this position where if I go for another one I'm gonna be stuck under the bar
Note: don't try these in bench press without a spotter👍
I did this and farted real loud. People dont look at you, but in your head YOU JUST KNOOOW they heard and are laughing in their head.
I stop when my reps look like im fish out of the water. When my clean form stops, is when I stop.
Do you only have to go to failure on your last set or all the sets?
When training to failure are we doing this every set or the final set? Ive always been confused on this.
With free weights compound movement, should i still go to failure even if i dont have a spotter? Like incline dumbell coz I'm afraid i would get hurt or injured or something when i go for true failure
Do RIR
Failure is when you tear your pecs and it wont work again ever in my life got it
Includes sacrificing form?
I never workout till failure. I only use 10 reps 4 sets.
So i did it wrong. If i want bigger muscle should i train until failure every sets or only at the last set?
That face 😂😂😂
I go until i cant move the weight. Sometimes i take a 2 second break holding the weight and keep going. I start doing half reps till im swinging the weight too much lol
I can’t train to failure, literally a few reps in and my muscles shaking.
Its crazy i dont know how to explain this but skmetimes ill barely get a rep, go for one more explode, and get it easy
Sir while doing this exercise with heavy weight ...I hv a sharp pain in my shoulder how will I recover faster...sir please help me
Is it best to do 3 sets to failure with 2mins break between sets or is here a better way to increase muscle growth ?
Aye it’s true 😮😊❤
When i find myself close to failure, i try to go for 1 more rep but then i can’t do it. Instead of trying to do 1 more rep of the same weight, can I just lower the weight and push until i can’t again? Please explain I’m an beginner, thank you!
Song at the start pleasee
1rir is okay🎉
Do you count reps
Song name at the start?
Dont know either, tell me if u came to know😅

But the Study said 3 RiR has the same growth as 0 RiR 🤔 is that true?

You actually don't need to go until failure. You're risking injury for nothing here. Leaving 1-2 reps in the tank produces the same amount of muscle hypertrophy as going to failure. I generally like your videos but please look into the studies done on this specific concept.
how many sets should you train to failure? say I do 4 sets, should I do it for 4 sets or the last one?
i do stop when the concentric gets that hard only the last set i go to true failird
I literally CANNOT sometimes and thats probably exactly what till failure is but If i start feeling like I’m going to have a brain aneurysm at the gym then I am done-zies 😂
Edit: Its also so hard training your mind to realize its okay to push the limits, at least I think thats why I struggle to hit real failure
